Development and evaluation of an online education module to improve clinician knowledge and management of eating disorders in the peripartum: a pre-post survey study.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveEating disorders (EDs) comprise a range of illnesses characterised by disordered eating, distressing thoughts, and changes in weight. EDs in the perinatal period are a growing concern. Maternity staff receive little training in this area and often report feeling ill-equipped to recognise or respond to presentations of ED during this time. The study aimed to develop and evaluate an online educational module for clinicians and support workers to improve knowledge of EDs in the perinatal period.
methodEducation modules were developed using a co-design process with consumer advocates, peer support workers, clinicians, and experts. Consumer perspectives, evidence-based videos, activities, and text relating to screening, management, monitoring and referral of perinatal individuals with EDs were included in the module. Quantitative and qualitative data from pre- and post- surveys were used to evaluate changes in knowledge and confidence before and after completing the module, and to assess staff satisfaction, usability, and obtain feedback for improvement.
resultsUse of the online education module significantly increased staff knowledge of EDs in the perinatal period. Participants also felt more confident in discussing the topic with patients, screening, supporting, and referring a person with ED in the perinatal period. Participants also reported the module was engaging and easy-to-use.
conclusionsFindings indicate that the ED online education module is an engaging and easy-to-use tool for improving the knowledge and skills of the healthcare workforce, thereby improving patient care and health outcomes. The development of additional online resources for clinicians would be beneficial for increasing staff capability and improving patient services.
